Focusing on the fundamental role of the pelvis in the movement.

It's several years that my research and my teaching got focused more and more on the pelvis and the freedom that he has, or that he could have, in the movement.  In Florence Augendre's class, this issue came out to me by itself and I felt the need to document the different positions, transitions and paths that the pelvis explores in the movement, taking pictures of the other dancers' pelvis. It would have been easier documenting it with a video, to see better where it could bring the movement, the freedom and, at the same time, the responsibility it has. But I thought with the stillness of the pictures, another kind of attention to it can emerge.

Moving, walking, dancing, pauses, the pelvis is never passive. Sometimes it is the engine starting a movement, or the final arrival, and sometimes the movement passes through it.

The nevralgic point of the body.

 

TTT stands for Teaching The Teachers . It is an initiative from Jardin d'Europe which aims at giving an answer to a European dance scene in need of new teaching and training methods in the field of Contemporary Dance, taking into account the various forms enriching dance creation nowadays, such as dramaturgy, scenography, lighting, visual arts practices, transforming movement into film/image, dance photography. Respective activities e.g. workshops, lasting each of them about ten days - are taking place at the relevant intiatives/venues of the participating co-organisers (Ultima Vez for Brussels
)
